The mac developer who had Bryce knowledge was on contract, and the contract ended before Lion was released.

My point is that by the time of release all developers had news that rosetta was history and that Bryce was broken.
FIRST: There was a quick upgrade sale to milk the software for every last dime.
SECOND: There wasn’t any notice for Bryce not working with 10.7.x (lion) Only that it operated with all systems.
THIRD: Lion gets released to the public Bryce is broken and won’t even install under lion and nobody hires the Mac developer back… to update the code?

Clearly Daz is using the bryce application and it’s legacy to attract more people to Daz and then get them to switch over to their own app for rendering.

Daz has had Bryce since 5.0 so by the time they got past 5.5, 6, 6.1, 6.3 and the 7 Pro Beta they had long since gained all the people they were going to get from Bryce’s legacy.

The only thing that is clear is that you’ve allowed yourself to become so upset by this that you’re rewriting history and assigning your opinions as motives for Daz.

SECOND: There wasn’t any notice for Bryce not working with 10.7.x (lion) Only that it operated with all systems.

This statement is not true. You might not have noticed it. Fact is, Apple changed things with 10.7 the moment Bryce 7.1 came out. There is no Bryce version that works on 10.7 - and a lot of other programs don’t as well. As for the other two statements - these reflect your personal opinion in a free world.
